  • Jimi Hendrix? The number 1.?

  • you forgot frank gambale!!!

  • To think that it's been five years since I first saw this video that was so important to me that I had to watch it almost every night after shower, so that I could straighten my hair in the morning. This video introduced me to Jason Becker too, so thank you for that.

  • I demand a decent representation of Paul Gilbert!

  • all of them are great. Why? Because tey are fast. Without that tey are nothing.

  • becker gilbert  buckethead malmsteen and petrucci are the best on this list the others dont even come close

  • @fuckfuckinshit And maybe add Randy Rhoads to that list.

  • lol dimebag ahahahaha is nowhere near god like ahahaha neither is zakk wylde

  • @fuckfuckinshit i was just addin zakkwylde as another example knowing hes not on the list

  • @Lewishred

    Argh why the Hell didnt you choose a better Song for Paul Gilbert

    Common he s my God

    please choose Get Out Of My Yard or Radiator or Bliss

  • thanks god i didnt see slash on this video

    good video dude

  • whats the name of the song satriani plays?

  • @Spoonguard13 That would be Satch Boogie

  • How can you have a video entitled guitar gods and not have Randy Rhodes or Jimi Hendrix??? You sir need to study up on that.

  • paul gilbert is so funny

  • 0:26 - 0:28 it's Walk'solo !!

  • I just went on ebay and typed in Buckethead. theres 1 album on there for $89.43 with 12 bids. And its a recent one. I typed in Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen and theres thousands of their albums some for 97 cents. I went down pages of them and not 1 single album had 1 single bid. That my friends is the difference between corporate sellout and underground icon.

  • well at least it looks like their tearing shit up.......

  • shakthu.....

  • least he didn't audio swap it for bodies or 009 sound system...

  • Hello internet - eat my asshole.

  • I just grounded by my mum because i had my sound up too high ! Damn this Vid

  • @Overchecking Earphones and crank it up! But get some good quality earphones or it'll sound like a chicken in a fight with a record player.

  • Where is Alexi Laiho?!

  • @Arcaller Alexi who?? LOL!!!

  • Eddie Van Halen should NOT be considered a "god". He's way overrated

  • @Mgopro I do think he's a little over-rated but if you really pay attention to all of his music rather than just the popular ones, he really is amazing...

  • like it :p lol

  • Well, the whole point of "Music" is to listen, but there was obviously too many Guitar/Rock/Metal Gods to fit in this one video. So Satan (Who we will call Rap just because it's major garbage these days, well........might as well say all music, so we'll say Satan is "Todays Music") got pissed and seized the sound.

  • PANTERA SUCKS! lol i cant even say that with a straight face suck and pantera dont go together but AWESOME and PANTERA fits just right!

  • ther is one guitar god "chikrumba".

  • No Jimmy, we have to respect dick dale a little, page anyone?

  • @orioneriksen

    agreed. i think shawn lane deserves a mention. too. every professional guitarist that has ever mentioned shawn lane made it sound like they thought he was the greatest guitarist ever (he probably was). i heard steve vai even stopped one of his concerts for a while just to get video footage of shawn lane.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Shawn Lane is a fantastic player, you can tell what he feels from his playing, astronomical. There are so many great players though.

  • @orioneriksen

    yeah, and sadly there are some great ones that don't get a lot of attention or get dissed for the wrong reasons. rofl i find this conversation very ironic because there was this dude trying to argue that jimmy page destroyed shawn lane and we were getting in this pointless giant argument about it. who is better is always based on what you think is good, it will always be a matter of opinion. i think that argument taught me how stupid it is to get into arguments like that.

  • @Fluffypopcicle That's right. It's art. Listen to what you like, don't argue about who is better. The only thing to judge them on is their character, and people like Shawn Lane or Jimmy Page are so dedicated to their art, that is character. 

  • shut the fuck up bitch nobady wants to hear u wein like a baby 

  • good list.....i mean i would have been happy if buckethead was in it already but NO SLASH!! its even better than i thought

  • No Shawn Lane or Hendrix? :/ I'm glad you put Buckethead on here though... He deserves more attention.

  • WHERE IS JIMI HENDRIX, ERIC CLAPTON, ???

  • Listen to airbourne great band

  • You are missing Brendan Small.

  • o shit that waz loud ass guitar

  • FUCK U COPYRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:<

  • I GOTS NO SOUND WAT UP WITH THAT?????????????

  • No fucking Jimi Hendrix?!?!? Your out of your fucking mind!!! Those guitar players wouldnt be there if it was'nt for Hendrix. Fuck this vid.

  • yeap. true guitar gods!

  • what? No Hendrix?

  • Petrucci

  • amazing list, meh agrees lml

    btw there are GOOD guitar players and guitar GODS and this are the ones

  • pas de son, fuck u!

  • EXCELLENT LIST!

  • fucking audio-Nazis!

  • i should be on this video. i am the best uitarist ever...and im not trying to be cockey or funny....im completly serious. Ima be huge one day, and your gunna be like....oh shit, we shoulda listened to that deannearsonist.

    PEACE BITCHES.

  • And that comment goes straight out to Dangazm.

  • I've got to get into this argument.

    New music sucks. Stuff like Floods is great and check out a song by Pantera called A New Level. Actually, listen to A Vulgar Display Of Power. Yep, the whole album. Then if you don't like it, I'll find you, reach down your throat, and pull a rabbit, out your fuckin' ass.

    (All props to The Darkness for that line.)

    But I dare you to get on here and say ANY Pantera album sucks.

  • @PinknessOfFloyd NO Pantera Album sucks :)

    but theyre are some new bands (Very very very few) who actually have talent and potential to succeed but stupid pop songs and rap songs have taken over the majority of the music community

  • @PinknessOfFloyd hell yeah, a new level is best song from pantera i think

  • @PinknessOfFloyd Yeah cause your opinion counts more than others, you know what stfu already man, your not better than no one here nor me, so stop acting like your opinions are better than any ones.

  • @PinknessOfFloyd ALL PANTERA ALBUMS SUCK ....there i DARED :D

  • Buckethead is personally my favorite.

  • Dangazm i hope you grow up and get a good taste in music thus for real music some time but even if you dont..hey who cares listen to your meshuga or whatever mesiah you want.but dont say jimi is not a real guitar player ,you must be retarded at best

  • damn, that sucks...its a guitar vid with the sound removed..stupid copy right laws.

  • Hendrix doesn't even come close to these guys. Good list. Just cause some of you guys like some of Hendrix's songs, doesn't make him a guitar God. He wouldn't be able to play what a lot of these guys here can. He would only be able to play his unpleasant druggie chords and sing with his stoned voice.

  • dimebag is overrated

  • Darrell, Van Halen, and Hendrix were terrible guitar players. Cool songs, but terrible players.

  • thats true for hendrix, semitrue for van halen(he was decent), and not even a little true for dime. u obviously have never seen dime play.

  • They were not terrible players. They are great guitarists. I bet you can't play better them.

  • wtf are you talking about!?!? THEYRE FUCKING GREAT! theyre gods of the guitar, an inspiration to many of the guitarists you might think are better than them.

    go fuck your dead great great grandma just for saying that you cunt

  • Nope. My favorites were inspired by real guitarists. Maybe a bit of Hendrix, but none o' this Dimebag or Van Halen shit you've all been spoon-fed. There are better, real guitar players out there, man.

  • Lets see you play Respect The Wind or Floods.

  • Hahaha, seriously? I hadn't actually heard those songs before so I went to look 'em up hoping for some interesting, enlightening experience.

    But, you let me down. Respect The Wind is a wonderful display of Van Halen's ability to play the wrong notes in every case. Floods is just terrible.

    I'll tell you what, you pick the hardest song you've ever heard and I'll play that one. These are too easy and they suck.

    Pick something by Adagio, Meshugga, Arsis, or any real band out there.

  • Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that Van Halen wasn't a "real" band. You can name ANY metal band, past or present, and I guarantee you that all of them worship Eddie Van Halen. It was Eddie that changed the way the guitar is played today. You may not like his style and that is your opinion. But give him the respect that he deserves. Without EVH, you wouldn't have over half of the current metal that is out there today.

  • Actually i think everyone would owe their sucess to rooting back to black america blues. and most likely Les paul himself. Who not created the sound we love, but invented backing tracks, sweep picking, and millions of other guitar techiniques. and in my opinion, there are a thousand guitarist better then any other guitarist. There is no BEST GUITARIST. Its all opinionated. *cough*Page is better though*cough*

  • lolololololo. I dont believe!

  • Just becuase it's not your "style" doesn't mean u need to hate and say they aren't "real."

    Besides...who did ppl like van halen listen to? Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Alan Holdsworth, Muddy Waters, etc etc.

    So why don't u quite the hate and become a real musician who is open minded to all music, not just what YOU like.

  • hendrix is on guitar gods 2, and herman sucks. the real question is... why the fuck is douchebag darrell on here?

  • where is herman

  • where iss HENDRIX

  • Where the fuck did the sound go?

  • none of these "gods" can't even compare to Shawn lane

  • where the hell is hendrix

  • where the fuck is randy rhoads and alexi

  • Where is Alexi Laiho :O? he's the best :D

  • Its cant have everyone dumbface pootard

  • The person who gives me thumbs down on all these comments doesn't understand music and the guitar...

  • Jimi Hendrix is a true guitar god... So where the fuck is he?

  • Jimmy Page is a true guitar god... So where the fuck is he?

  • ok..... really good choises, i can see u love the taping thing and i must add that the real guitar heroes(if i may say like that xD) or guitar gods are dose who can also play acustic as good as the electric (jimmy page,Brian May,Buckethead,etc...)

    It a good vid anyway

  • couldve put a better solo for petrucci and theres quite a few missing but i like your choices

  • where is the Chuck Schuldiner? hi is god of guitar

  • hahaha. this paul gilbert, he is so funny!

  • almost as cool as a polka XD

  • Nooooooooooo man you forgetting HENDRIX !!! how can you forgett the best ? And MATTRACH where is him ?!!

  • Your forgot hendrix, jimmy paige, kirk hammett, brian may, and many other but HENDRIX common he was amoung the best ever if not the best.

  • "Not one, but three picks on the end of a drill."

  • slash,hendrix,hammett,wylde,ro­ots thats just some of the man GODS that you've missed

  • Great compilation, only I'm missing: Brian May from Queen, the gentlemen from Iron Maiden, Michael Schenker, and Dave Mustaine from Megadeth...

  • Where the hell is Micheal Romeo from symphony X?

  • where is Al Di Meola

  • If your going to talk guitar god, Michael Schenker is the it.

  • i have to agree,,,,musics found its roots again :P and now drags its lady freind back to the cave by the hair

  • slash,hendrix,page..?

  • Comment removed

  • Petrucci is SICK!!

  • buckethead sucks slash plays way better than that asshole

  • great video...but he could have picked better songs for dimebag, satriani, and vai

    and does anyone else find pauls pick drill funny? lol

  • where´s marty friedman ?

  • you cudnt have found a worse vid of john petrucci... and wheres synester gates and Chris Broderick?!

  • for technique (not song composition) these gutiarists rape syn im sorry to say,,,,altho i dont really like any of their music,,,just love their impros mostly and how amaszing a lot of their solos are

  • yes i agree hes not the best improv, but if you listen to the city of evil album and waking the fallen, those have such meaningful guitar parts. and thats what makes a great guitarist not insaine cant understand whats really going on unless you play the instrument lead but meaning full, melodic leads. my opinion anyways

  • joe satriani sucks just tapping for ten minutes straight doesn't make you good. it gets pretty damn boring after a while

  • true it doesnt make you good, but thats only one vid... u obviously dont know what your talking about

  • I agree with JEDSaje.......You dont know what Joe is capable of, Get your Digits right Mr

    sheepdigit2010

  • Batio is a peice of shit he was good like when he was in nitro

  • petrucci a backer are the best , u miss loureiro a romeo , ... batio is a peace of shit thank u for not list him

  • rock on halen

  • due where is Micheal Romeo, Vinnie Moore, Marty Freedman, ect.. gosh

  • yes EDWARD!!

  • .....and michael angelo????

  • yeah , wheres michael angelo, the best shredder in the world ?

  • yeah.....and paul gilbert????and giacomo castellano????G.castellano isn't a very famous in the world but I swear: HE'S ONE OF THE MOST TECNICAL GUITARIST that I know....

  • good video....but... michael romeo????????????????????where­'s michael romeo?????????what about michael romeo?????and kiko loureiro??????where's kiko loureiro????what about kiko loureiro??????lol

  • I like how Paul Gilbert got on here with a vid of him playing a part of ERUPTION!! on a drill.

  • 1st song walk  nigger

  • for some of the guitarists you made the wrong choice of video. ive seen them do alot better

  • Joe Satriani kicks ass!!!

  • paul gilbert with the drill thing. that would fucking kill your strings

  • dude petrucci is so much better than that vid you put up

  • gotta say, I don't even own a guitar, and I can play that solo you have by John Petrucci. It's pretty simple. In fact, I think I can play it on a bass. In fact, I think I WILL play it on a bass. Tomorrow morning. Before my coffee. Seriously, it was that lame.

  • et Jimi Hendrix, le créateur de la guitare électrique il est où? pfff 1/5

  • Paul Gilbert, wtf? three picks on the end of a drill? Even more WTF.

  • John Petrucci's guitar solo sucked!

    You had him and Buckethead on there but no GEORGE LYNCH?!

    wtf man?

  • Steve Vai??? you gotta be joking me

  • you picked terrible vai and satriani songs

  • Van Halen is better than Dime and at the same level of Rhoads

  • Yes, Van Halen is good, but I hate how everyone says that "Eruption" was his best guitar solo. That solo was shit!!! All he did was play randomly altered scales... None of it followed through. I know, I know "Eruption" it's supposed to sound like an eruption of different things, but still... In my opinion, that wasn't anything but random stuff. Still, respect to EVH. He was one of the pioneers of hard rock.

  • play "randomly scales" like you said is called improvisation, it's not shit, do it yourself and only after you say that's shit

  • Improvisation...if I play random, altered scales, is that improvisation? An good improvisation should flow. EVH just played something, stopped, played something else, stopped, etc. I'm just saying that he has better music than the highly adored "Eruption" of, in my opinion (can't emphasize that enough...), shit.

  • Rhoads was amazing. but I don't think he did enough with his career to be on the same level as EVH. sadly

  • But you do know that if his career continued to go as it did, he'd be way bigger than EVH, right? Just putting that out there... both were/are good either way. :D

  • First part is right, second part very wrong. Rhoads wishes! And Dime poopy in Rhoads mouth also.

  • Idiot.

  • ??? :?

  • You are racking up the "thumbs down". And for a good reason.

  • for stating my opinion? i'm not saying Eddie Van Halen sucks, I'm saying "Eruption" sucks. He did better on "Panama" than "Eruption"...maybe even "Hot for Teacher". And that's my opinion, so if you like Eruption, that's fine. It's your taste, bro.

  • =/ BUCKETHEAD? he's not a guitar god...

  • haha thanx paul gilbert!! XD

    gods!!

  • Buckethead iz better than all of dem!

  • hahaha i love the piece with Paul Gilbert

  • Wheres Randy Rhoads?

  • that steve vai peice was terrible and dime ha so many solos that are much much better than walk not to mention that pretty much every single thing paul has ever played sounds better that drill thing plus most of these werent even of the best quality

  • Ok Buckethead is a lot better than slash idiots and Dimebag has such better solos than walk. floods should have been the solo for Dimebag

  • wow only a nub would say that Buckethead is a lot better than slash...they are about equal...neither are like super guitar gods or anything..i mean yea they sound good but buckethead just plays scales quickly(mostly the same ones) and slash just plays with alot of distortion and stuff i mean steve vai fucking rapes both of them and malmsteen is classical greatness... i know like 20 peopel who can play buckethead its not that hard just fast i can play the beggining of jordan i learnd in 25 min

  • i wonder if some peolple forgot there was a goddamd 2nd video.

  • Thank jesus you do not have Herman Li on this video...5/5. i love you

  • The most monstrous, idiotic a selection. When you learn to distinguish guitar legends, virtuosoes and Gods? I am afraid - never.

  • This list is lacking Frank Zappa and Shawn Lane...

  • wtf?! No Slash.. but bloody BUCKETHEAD!?! and what happened to pete townshend?!?

  • In technique Buckethead > Slash

    It's the honest truth I'm afraid.

  • thats just CRAP!! did ya know that crappy Buckethead gets inspired by WOLF SHIT!?!?

  • Oh yeah? You know what? Your mom got inspired by Wolf Shit, hah!

  • Damn eddie van halen can still shred, but he got fat :(

  • Paul Gilbert is so funny, But hes also a beast! One of the fastest! Plus it sounds good!

  • Synyster Gates?

    Michael Angelo Batio?

    Matt Heafy?

  • i agree 100 percent with u bro

  • syn hates?haha.matt heafy?

    the newbies.

  • syn gates is fucking amazing lol! wtf are u talking about newbies.
